CITY, STATE ZIP CODE]

Dear [FIRST NAME LAST NAME],

This letter is being sent to you on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), the Federal agency that provides the funding for the reimbursement you receive for serving selected meals to children attending your family day care home, which is provided through the meal program in which you participate, formally known as the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The purpose of this letter is to inform you that your day care home has been randomly selected to participate in a national study being conducted by the agency that reimburses your these meals.

Your participation in the study is required by law, as condition of Section 305 of S.3307 Child Reauthorization Act – “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. Based on this requirement, a State/sponsor/FDCH provider participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is required to cooperate with officials and contractors acting on behalf of the Secretary in the conduct of evaluations and studies, as required under Section 28 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C 1769i). The information you provide will be private and will not be maintained or disclosed in identifiable form to anyone, except otherwise required by law.

FNS has hired ICF Macro, a professional research firm, to conduct this study, which will help FNS meet its Federal Government reporting requirement on assessing the integrity of the CACFP, while helping to strengthen the program. We have partnered with your sponsoring organization, [SPONSORING ORGANIZATION’S NAME], to conduct this study. Your sponsor provided us with the information used to randomly select your day care home for participation in the study, and is aware of your selection to participate.

For the study, we are asking you to provide basic data on the enrollment and contact information for the children in your day care. We are contacting you now to obtain the following information:

  • All of the most recent child enrollment information for all children currently attending your day care. This information is to include the names, ages, planned daily attendance, meals and snacks each child is to receive, including your own children, if applicable.

  • The most recent schedule of meals service times for all meals you serve to children in your care—the start and stop times of ALL the meals served to the children (whether or not the meals are reimbursed under the CACFP).

  • Current parent/guardian contact information for all children enrolled in your day care. This should include parents/guardians’ names, addresses, and telephone numbers.

  • An example of the attendance and meal count forms that you submit to your sponsor to receive reimbursement for meals you provide to the children in your day care who participate in the meal program.

As part of the study, we will also be conducting a one-time, 2‑day in-home observation using procedures similar to the monitoring visit typically conducted by your sponsor. This in-home observation will be conducted to record the number of children being served meals and the type of meals being served. The observation will be unannounced and will occur within the next [X MONTHS].

The in-home observation is being conducted with several safeguards. The data collection specialist may be accompanied by a monitor from your sponsor organization who conducts regular in-homes visits at your day care (depending on the requirements of your sponsor). Your sponsor will also be aware of the times that our data collection specialist will be at your home during the 4 separate meal-service times to be observed over the 2-day visit. The data collection specialist is highly skilled and has experience in conducting observations in the day care home environment. The data collection specialist will wear a photo identification badge and will have documentation on hand that provides evidence of having liability insurance and of having passed a criminal background check. We want to emphasize that the information that ICF Macro collects will not be used to leverage a claim against your individual program or your sponsor.

We aim to minimize the burden of study participation on your day care program. To ease the burden of participation, we are offering providers a stipend of $75. A representative of the ICF Macro study team will contact you within 2 days to confirm that you have received this letter, answer any questions you may have, and assist you in sending the above requested information to us. You can choose to either fax the data to us, mail them to us, or you can provide the data via a brief telephone interview. We would like to receive your data within 2 weeks, no later than [DATE, 2011]. You can choose to send the information care of Walter Rives, ICF Macro; 11785 Beltsville Drive, Suite 300; Calverton, MD 20705; via fax
to 1-301-572-0999; or via e-mail to Walter Rives at [email protected] or to Marta Royer at [email protected].

At your request, you can be reimbursed for the cost of photocopying any documents we are requesting. If you choose this option, complete the Photocopy Receipt enclosed with this letter and return it with the requested data. ICF Macro will reimburse your day care at a rate of 10 cents per copy, and a reimbursement check will be sent out within 6 weeks of the documents being processed.

We recognize that a study such as this one can be burdensome and may cause a great deal of discomfort. However, we believe that the study can serve to highlight the efforts of family day care homes that are meeting the needs of children by providing healthy meals and are claiming reimbursement according to Program requirements. Both FNS and ICF Macro are looking forward to your support and cooperation in this important study. If you have general questions about the study, please contact the FNS Project Officer for this study, Dr. Fred Lesnett, at 1-703-605-0811. If you have questions about specific study procedures, you may contact the ICF Macro Project Director, Dr. Erika Gordon, toll-free at
1-800-840-8248.

Sincerely,



Dr. Erika Gordon

Hello Provider,

Here are some points of information that may be important to you as you are participating in the CACFP Meal Claims Assessment Study.

WHAT IS THE STUDY ABOUT?

This study is designed to strengthen the meal program by examining the processes sponsors use to reimburse claims for meals. It is a national study conducted on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Federal agency that provides the funds for the reimbursement of meals.

WHY AM I BEING ASKED TO PARTICIPATE?

You have been randomly chosen to represent the providers your sponsor oversees. Your participation provides important data that can’t be obtained from the sponsor. Since the study includes only a sample of providers, your participation is very important, as it represents the circumstances of other providers in the program.

DOES MY SPONSOR KNOW THIS IS GOING ON?

Yes. Your sponsor is aware of the study and your selection. We have partnered with your sponsor to obtain other data and to initiate the process of partnering with you for the study.

WHO IS ICF MACRO?

ICF Macro is the research company that the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has hired to conduct the study. The study’s approach has been approved by the agency and has been developed to minimize potential burden on the providers.

WHY DO YOU NEED THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN I PROVIDE DAY CARE FOR?

The study is trying to gather the most recent and up-to-date complete documentation for each child receiving meals.

WHAT ABOUT THE IN-HOME OBSERVATION?

The in-home observation uses procedures similar to your regular unannounced and required monitoring visit as conducted by your sponsor. Your sponsor may have even chosen to accompany us on the visit.

ARE THERE ANY CONSEQUENCES FOR MY PARTICIPATION?

We want to emphasize that the information that ICF Macro collects will not be used to leverage a claim against your individual program or your sponsor.

WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS AFTER THE IN-HOME VISIT?

Please contact the ICF Macro study team toll-free at 1-800-XXX-XXXX.

Thank you for your support!

The study will contribute to strengthening the CACFP meal program.
